tried all of those above couldn’t find extension. snipet.chrome though , uninstalled in control panel , reset browser, deleted ask.com from program files and all instructions from how to.com anything else to get rid of this menace

oh my godd!! i gave up on removing the ask toolbar 2 years ago! i did everything i could and it didnt work! the system said i had removed it, but it was still there!
And this actually worked!!! im soo happy right now! cause i hated the ask search engine sooo much
thankss!

went to about:config
then changed any string that had Ask.com to google.com (right click modify)

Then for the remaining toolbar on top of the browse.
Click the small triangle on the left at end of search box. Then select Manage Search Engines. Move up your referred search engine and remove the one you do not want (Ask.com). Click OK. This should help.

Solution to the error 1316: Before uninstalling the ask toolbar, you have to deactivate the toolbar from Every browser it is attached in. In every browser the ask toolbar has a deactivation setting. After that you should be able to uninstall it from windows normaly
